Ben Syer to coach US U18 team.

to clarify - assistant for the Hlinka Cup team at that tournament in August. Not the actual U-18 team, which is a permanent position.

Still pretty cool.  Congrats, Ben.

RPI lost a recruit, Joseph Henneberry (Cape Breton, QMJHL) to Merrimack because Merrimack offered him money. Someone sent me a message with the amount which I can't post, but I will say that I don't blame him for taking it. I do wonder why Merrimack is doing this. They will still be at or near the bottom of HEA.

These new NIL rules are going to make it hard to justify many of these amounts.

Which rules? Because they change daily.

Watching the transition of college sports from the prior time-honored form of hypocrisy to the next is heart-warming.  The green shoots of new corrupt life.

Academia truly is the world in microcosm.  Apes shivving each other for sex and money, all the while blatting on about Core Values.

I dunno, he used to be a lot more cynical ::rolleyes::

You know what they say: once you can fake authenticity you can fake anything.

I wonder when the tyranny of scoreboards and video will end.  All hemlines change.  There will come a day when  this is all exposed as obscene and baroque and we go minimalism, or at least some type of nostalgic minimalist revival.  (Yes, I know, likely equally cringe and rancid.)

You actually can have comfortable seats without the incessant idiocy of machine-generated noise and lights, at the same time.  It is conceivable.

I'm holding out for a video display built into my cataract lens implant.  Haven't decided which eye.

I was recently in the Newark Train Station (tee up your jokes) and the video status board was made to resemble the old and now rare flip-flip boards, complete with simulated motion and click-clack sounds. It was branded as a Solari product, which is the company that made the old mechanical boards. But it was actually a giant video screen.
